Podcast – PaPaw “Stomach Ache People”

pd — Wed, 09 Apr 2008 20:11:22 +0000

This is a short recording of PaPaw Chapman leaving one of his usual notes after missing Wayne and Barbara at the house. He is referring to Wayne as “The Stomach Ache People,” becuase Wayne was having some procedures done. This is indicative of a usual PaPaw message or note. He was and is known as, “The Monroe Bandit!” Disregard the beginning because the answering machine makes a buzz before the recording starts.

Podcast 4-3-2008 | Fadeaway

pd — Thu, 03 Apr 2008 04:25:18 +0000

Fadeaway is a song I wrote when the writing bug first hit me a couple of years ago. Now since, I have written more than 63 songs and it has been more than 2 years since I started. However, this song is still one of my all time favorites, thus, I am setting it up to be my first podcast journal entry!

Blessings!

Verse(s) Behind the Lyrics:

Zephaniah 3:17

Story Behind the Song:

I was of course, reading my daily reading and fell in love with this passage that I had many times before. Zephaniah is one of my favorite Old Testament books. In a time when so many are saying that this part of the Bible is outdated and simply isn’t important anymore, I am totally in love with it! Now living in DC, and talking with my Jewish friends, I have a whole new love for passages such as this.

Anyways, I began to really think of myself as a little child whose daddy loved so much and got so excited at something I did that he danced around because he loved me! And I realized that’s exactly what was going on here! The Lord loves us so much that He TWIRLS, WHIRLS & Dances wildly around at the thought of us. And not only that, but in every place we have battles and are shamed, He will raise us up! Now friends, I don’t know about you, but that gives me HOPE!!!! May this song be a prayer you sing to the Lord when you need a little pick-me-up! Blessings!

Verse(s) Behind the Lyrics:

2 Chronicles 7:14

Story Behind the Song:

I have had 3 dreams about the harvest and rain. I won’t go into detail about the dreams right here, but these dreams are always in my mind. The first one was about the church being in the middle of a field. The harvest was all around, however, it was dying because there was a famine in the land. I began to pray for rain.

Also, if you know me well, you knw I love it when it rains. Rain is something that surrounds my life. So, this song is written out of one of those many times when I ached and burned for revival. It’s like the hymn says, “Showers of Blessing, showers of blessings we need. Mercy drops round us are falling, but for the showers we plead.” I find myself pleading for the showers. There must be more.

Blessings!

Verse(s) Behind the Lyrics:

Psalm 95:1-3

Story Behind the Song:

One day I was meditating on the greatness of GOD. I titled this one “Perspective,” because that is actually what was changing in me as I wrote this song. I began to realize GOD’s position and my position. He is so big and we are son small. He IS the greatest GOD of all! The church in America needs a paradigm shift and a perspective change. Hopefully as we sing this song, it will remind us just a small bit who GOD is and who we are.

The longer I am in ministry, (which this is my 12th year!), I realize just how under-prepared, under-educated, unwise and so small I am. This is a healthy place to be. We don’t need bigger programs, larger memberships, more money, better equipment, cooler sound and light effects or even the newest in technology. What we really NEED is the Presence of GOD. It’s time for a dynamic relationship with GOD together in our missional faith community! May this song remind you who you are and place the GREAT GOD YAHWEH, JESUS deserves! Enjoy!

Verse(s) Behind the Lyrics:

Psalm 23

Story Behind the Song:

Psalm 23 is one of my favorite Psalms along with Psalm 119, 150, 91, 24 and 139. But, Psalm 23 is one of specific favorite Psalms because it is the Psalm I quoted over and over when I worked for my dad and brother in the woods after college. I had decided to return home and spend some time with my family, getting my life in check and seeking GOD before I went on with the rest of my ministry life. So, I spent some time in the woods logging with my family. We come from about 3 and now 4 generations of loggers, so being in the woods is in our blood. I still think about those times now. And what’s funny is that is one of the key reasons we are doing the Reserve, because my experiences in the woods growing up and during this time are some of my favorite memories.

Anyways, I continued through the years to quote this passage over and over through the years when I went through tough times. I wrote this song in the midst of one of those times. It’s funny, I have truly become thankful for all of the tough times I went through over the years. I have found that as I embrace those painful and trying memories, I become a stronger person. Those memories help me to be the astor I am called to be. I would have never known how to do what I do now had it not been for so many leaders and pastors that I learned from as they often placed me in tough situations. I now feel that I owe them. I am so thankful for the trials and the tough times and those pastors. I could not be who I am today without them! THAT’S Thankful! This sng was written at the same time that I began to feel so thankful for the times I had been rejected and treated wrongly. Thank you GOD, that it’s not just the destination, but the entire journey that is worthwhile! THANK YOU LORD FOR THE VALLEYS AND FOR THE LIFE & GROWTH THAT COME FROM THEM! If you find yourself in the valley tday, this song is for you… Thankful!

Verse(s) Behind the Lyrics:

Revelation 2:20, Revelation 3 & Exekiel 16:49

Story Behind the Song:

Our Missions team was still in India working with Dr. Job’s Mission. They were serving at the orphanage and school. As they were gone, you can imagine, being their pastor, I prayed harder than usual and felt very responsible for their safety, support and future ministry. So, praying about missions and the persecuted church makes you think about how great we have it in America and how we have become Overfed and Unconcerned and do not care about our brother. I was reminded of both the passage in Ezekiel 16:49 that said this was the true sin of Sodom, that they were overfed and unconcerned and had need of nothing and that they did not care for the orphan, needy and widow! It seemed to me that this was our sin today. It’s amazing that we can focus in on sexual brokennes as the greatest evil of today and say that is why GOD hates and destroys people or countries, but how often have we noticed passages like this or Revelation chapter 3 that points a finger at our being overfed and unconcerned. Then I remembered Revealtion 3:20 and Jesus’ invitation to the church.

This song was written from these passages and out of this heart. Oh, GOD open our eyes. May we see with YOUR eyes and have compassion on our brother, remembering that with greater riches and ability comes greater responsibilty. AMEN. Enjoy!

Verse(s) Behind the Lyrics:

Psalm 32:7, Psalm 91

Story Behind the Song:

When Lori used to work for one of her last employers, she used to call me and be so upset. She called one day and said that she just wanted to quit her job and I simply encouraged her that GOD would get her through it and at the same time would instill some things that she would carry into the rest of her life. After we got off the phone, I sat and thought about just how upset she was and how I had it so great at my job. It just didn’t seem fair. After a few moments had passed, the lyrics of this song came. So, I called Lori and told her the lyrics, which totally encouraged her. When I got home, I grabbed my guitar and worte the music that GOD had been playing in my mind.

Verse(s) Behind the Lyrics:

Haggai 2

Story Behind the Song:

Every day I have a daily routine of Reflection, Prayer & Meditation. For over a year now, I have been getting up in the morning at 6AM. And I just started to get up at 5:30AM because 6AM wasn’t enough time. Every morning I awaken, and pray, “Lord send revival…” Then I read one chapter from the Old Testament, one chapter from the New Testament, one chapter from the Gospels and one chapter from Proverbs. I also read a daily reading from Oswald Chamber’s book, “My Utmost for His Highest,” a reading from Joyce Meyer’s book, “Starting Your Day Right,” and then I pray over my prayer list.

During this time, I was reading in Haggai and as I read, the passage burned in my heart as I felt that it was a word for today. I then felt like I wanted to sing it as a prayer to GOD. So, this song is written as a prayer for revival, renewal and awakening in the church today. I have a firm belief that there will be a new day that will show the Glory of the Kingdom of GOD in the church again! And my prayer is… Come Holy Spirit…. So Come!
